Reading Dickens

If you want a good plug for Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities - or an inducement to read them - you can find one here from Michael Slater and Lillian Nayder, biographers, respectively, of Charles and Catherine Dickens. They explain how the two novels 'resonate with biographical meaning' and social meaning - as well as telling 'marvelously exciting stories'. (Via.)
